Crazy what is available on the internet. Coordinates of Iranian air bases, complete with satellite imagery of military aircraft.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Iranian_Air_Force_bases

If anyone out there important is reading this, this is the only one I've seen so far with camaflouged hangers:

Anybody have an educated guess on what the munitions were cooking off?

I guess some short range missile but not my expertise.

There is an f5 parked between the big boys. they hit the offensive aircraft and left the cargo guys for later


With the amount of shrapnel flying off that explosion I have doubts those cargo planes ever fly again and that's not even accounting for flames from burning jet fuel if that fighter was fully fueled.

Are those C-130's?


They look Russian to me but I watched it in my phone.


That F-5 that went poof is a cool plane too.

No. Hercs are 4 engined. Those may be AN-24s or something similar. Russian built.

Might be Fokker F27s which look similar to the AN-24.

Let's not leave out the best part!

Yes, reports from NY Post, NDTV, WION & CENTCOM footage confirm HELIOS laser deployed on US Navy destroyer off Iran for Operation Epic Fury. Tested on 4 drones Feb 2026.

Not free to build (~$100M/unit per early Navy estimates; $150M contract for first two). But each shot costs basically electricity onlynear zero vs millions per missile.

Power generation is probably the problem with scaling it's use to other assets. AFAIK turbines can provide a lot of power generation but radar systems probably consume quite a bit of that.

Well we killed 80 of their supposed best and brightest at their council of experts meeting, so whoever was in charge of moving planes around probably wasn't that bright either. Assuming he's still alive. Also, remember they are a death cult and want to bring on the Mahdi by sparking Armageddon.

And why the IRGC is trying to get retired officers to come back. They know logistics wins wars and their knowledge base is no longer breathing.

What do yall think is going on here? Air drop of arms for the Kurds?

What will the IRGC send to engage the Kurdish fighters? Will they send armor that we destroy quickly?

If the irgc mass men and armor, they will be destroyed quickly. The hanger ons will conduct gorilla warfare. Arming the Iranian people is the way that must be defeated imo.

China condemns attacks and wants it stopped. Considering they provided military equipment and tech, we should tell them to piss off. Keep going full steam

Now things get more interesting. If Iran targets and is successful at multiple attacks on regional O&G infrastructure this could really upend things.

Including targeting their own infrastructure as a FU to everyone as they cease to exist.

I have been yelling for air dropping ammo and kalashnikovs into Iran for two months now!

no better time than today.

RPGs, Lion and Sun flags, AK47, ammo, helmets.

drop them near every major city and let the civilians (most of the men have had mandatory military service) take over from there.

They want the oil from the area. The decrease of tankers is hurting them.

Yep - definitely can see the Islamic leaders now pulling a Saddam and blowing up their own oil fields just to @#$#@ with the rest of the world's economy.

Guess after seeing what happened to the Dena, this ship decided to sit this out.

Smartest thing any Iranian has done since it started.

Maybe dumb question...
Could this have been being tested near El Paso?

Made for a good deflection news story while able to get a boots on the grind and easy to observe test with results...

Seize it in port. "Come and take it!"

Or let the evacuation occur and then poke a big hole in it.

HELIOS has been out there a while. The El Paso system likely similar tech but ground based.

That's going to be the tough part, after the bulk of the US and Israeli naval and air forces leave, the Iranians/ forces on the ground will have to deal with the remnants of IRGC running around commiting terrorist acts, bombing buildings/ sniping from rooftops, etc... Then the US and Israel will be getting the blame in the media for not sending their own groundtroops in if Iranians and others can't quickly deal with the terrorist problems.

So Lebanon asked Macron to ask Israel to not Bomb them and Frances response is to send Armored Vehicles?
